People who have been invited by a text message to attend a drive through COVID-19 test station. Do not need to worry about their Ehteraz app turning grey.

Address registration is now a must for RP renewal. The head of the National Address Section has said that anyone not completing their National Address registration will have some transactions including RP renewals blocked.
